The Minutes Of Belleview Baptist Church
[Record of members]
The membership records seem somewhat disjointed as they begin; the church clerk had written that he had to make some adjustments as he was short of paper. From page 77 the records are more orderly. Some formatting changes were necessary for website purposes. A special thanks to Michael Capek and his wife, Terri, for transcribing these difficult documents. - Jim Duvall
